Be itvknown thatv l, OTTO SoHnIB, ac iti` zen of the Republic ofGermany, residingv at Barmen, Prussia, Germany,.have invent-- 5 edcertain nea7V and useful Improvements in Hair Curlers, of which the:following is a: specication. K i

My present invention relates to flexible hair curlers adapted to be bentor twistedV after the hairrhas been Wound around the curler so as tokeep the curler and subsequently the hair thereon in a fixed conditionduring the curling process.

My invention Will bey best understood from the following Idescriptionand the annexed drawing, in which Fig. 1 is a side vieW of one form ofhair curler embodying my invention; Fig. 2 is a vievv similar toV Fig.1, but with4 the right-hand portion of the figure out on a longitudinalplane and indicate like enlargement 12 from which the filling again isreduced in diameter at the end portions 13, these portions preferablybeing smaller in diameter than the; central portion 11.

Over the covering is a flexible sheath 14, the ends of which may be heldin place by a metallic or Wax holding device 15. This 192e. serial No.644,073.

holding device forms no part of my invention and Will be understood bythose skilledj in the art. i

By forming the kenlargements 12, 12, the hair Wound around the centralportion 11- isKV prevented from sliding longitudinally Valong-the ourleras it'might do if the ends p ofthe curler were tapered and not providedwith these enlargements'. K Moreover, the cur-ler, after the hair hasbeen Wound on the central portion, may be bent until the enlargements12, 12 are in oontact'vvith eachV other, and then the relatively smallend portions 18 may be Wrapped around each other to lool the ourlersecurely in position.
